Aston Villa after Robert Beric

6:15 AM

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has been linked with a £2.5million move for Maribor’s Slovenian striker Robert Beric. Lambert is keen to bolster his attacking options in the January transfer window, with speculation surrounding the future of Darren Bent.
TalkSPORT have reported that Lambert is keeping tabs on Beric and will launch a £2.5m raid for the Maribor striker in the new year.
Serie A side Napoli have also been credited with an interest in the 21-year-old striker, while Premier League rivals Newcastle United have also been linked with the forward in the past, and Villa could well face a battle to convince Beric to move to Villa Park in the January transfer window.
